Become a Certified
Whether you're here for your own wellbeing or to add TRE to your professional practice
Greetings,
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Certified TRE Provider. Incorporating TRE into your personal and professional life will open new possibilities!
Our certification program will prepare you to teach TRE safely, responsibly, and professionally. Additionally, we require that our trainees experience the depth of personal healing, re-balancing, and tension releasing that is possible through this somatic process.
TRE integrates well with traditional therapeutic modalities because it supports healing at the deepest levels of the neuro-physiology, where traumatic “fear” responses originate. Some individuals recovering from chronic stress, anxiety, or trauma may have deep emotional and psychosomatic issues that need professional guidance.
Although I originally designed TRE as a self-help technique for large traumatized populations, it is becoming widely accepted as a somatic tool for mental health and health care professionals. In those cases, TRE should not be considered as a stand-alone method, but would be better included in a therapeutic session where the client can receive proper guidance along with those releases.
If you are seeking a somatic technique to enrich your healing practice, there are many unique qualities that would make TRE a good choice for you. If you are NOT a professional healthcare provider but you still want to learn how to share TRE with your family and community, the TRE certification process will give you the competency to do so.
The management of stress and the healing of trauma are challenging issues that face each of us daily. TRE offers a revolutionary approach and a teachable technique to aid each of us individually and as a larger community.
We look forward to your joining the TRE provider family!
Creator of TRE | Founder of TRE for All, Inc.
Becoming a Certified TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) Provider means you're licensed and qualified to facilitate TRE with individuals and groups in your own professional practice. Certification is granted through TRE for All (TFA), the international organization that governs TRE standards worldwide.
The program is designed for health and wellness professionals across every discipline — counselors, yoga teachers, coaches, bodyworkers, nurses, educators, social workers, and therapists. You don't need to be a clinician to certify. You do need to be willing to develop your personal practice alongside your professional skills, because this path builds both.
There's no deadline. You move through the modules at your own pace, with several offered throughout the year and Lynea guiding each step. And Module 1 is always the starting point.
Module 1
Where it all begins. In 12 hours of live small-group training with Lynea, you'll explore the TRE exercises in your own body, learn the physiology of stress and trauma, develop your self-regulatory capacities, and hear from Dr. Berceli himself how he developed TRE. A Pre-workshop Orientation Session is included. Module 1 stands on its own and can be completed for personal growth or Certification.
Supervisions
In four 60-minute individual sessions with Lynea, you'll create a personal learning plan, learn the exercises in more depth with simple modifications for your needs, and safely explore the tremor response — with an emphasis on developing regulation skills, managing the tremor, and integrating your TRE experiences.
Module 2
Building on your Module 1 training, supervisions, and personal practice, Module 2 brings you back into 12 hours of live small-group training with Lynea. You'll learn how to teach an individual TRE session, modify exercises for common health issues, and guide the tremor response — and hear from Dr. Berceli on contraindications and fascia, and how to apply Polyvagal theory to TRE. You'll also practice teaching, observe others, and receive supportive feedback on how to guide others in this empowering practice.
Supervisions
In this unit, you'll practice teaching TRE to one other person, developing your ability to comfortably and safely lead a session — using your body and words, attuning to your client's needs, staying regulated, and knowing how to manage and stop the tremor process. You'll also receive tips on leading TRE online. Session video recordings are sent to Lynea for review, followed by a 60-minute coaching session.
Module 3
Building on your personal TRE practice and your experience teaching individuals, you'll now practice teaching in groups of two. You'll learn the art of guiding the tremor through the body with observation and intuition, how to skillfully address group dynamics in both in-person and Zoom settings, and how to navigate transference and countertransference. You'll also hear Dr. Berceli's best hands-on interventions, deepen your ethical awareness and understanding of scope of practice, explore TRE with youth, and learn how to add TRE offerings to your current practice — or build a new TRE business from the ground up.
Supervisions
In this unit, you'll practice teaching TRE to a group of 2–3 people, developing your ability to manage different tremoring styles in the same session while keeping yourself and participants regulated — staying present to the group while supporting individuals. You'll also work with group dynamics and leading TRE sessions online. Three session video recordings are sent to Lynea for review, followed by a 60-minute coaching session. The final group supervision is live online.
